Wii has hidden HD technology in its [Only registered users can see links. ]. Problem is, it isn't really that great. It probably won't brush near 30 FPS at HD resolutions. Besides, isn't that the same technology that pushes the other next generation consoles above the US 400 barrier? The discovery doesn't look so great after knowing the rest of the information - and getting hit with reality.

After [Only registered users can see links. ] [Only registered users can see links. ] explained why the Wii [Only registered users can see links. ], the claim that the Wii had HD all along caught our attention. Was the Wii slated to come with HD, but was changed during the design process? We probably will never know. The news isn't confirmed at the moment. But Miyamoto did say the next console will include HD capability, so that's a promise we hope kept.

HD or not, still is a better system the the 360 imo
But HD in the next console, would be good - just hope it isnt too soon

I think, for a "next gen" console, it is a shame that it isnt HD. Some even say it isnt next gen because of that alone. Although where has it ever said, that thats the requirements for next gen.
I think the wii remote and nun chuk are very next gen indeed.
Sure I'd love if the wii was HD, but, the fact that it isn't hasnt put me, or many others off either
